Life turned into a whirlwind, so I'm going to make this short and sweet.
I finished working for DisneyWorld as a vacation planner.

The CP crew with Dad and Mom (our managers: Anthony and Patti)
I turned 22 on May 6th. I had some anxiety going into it, but the week was full of parties, friends, and magic!
Birthdays are the best.

Magic Kingdom with Emm and Katelyn

O'hana's with the roomies!
Our servers were awesome and the food was delicious!

We graduated from Disney's College Program. Moved out of our apartment. Moved into a condo.




One last day in the parks. Spent a great afternoon in Italy (@ Epcot). Did I mention it has been hot? Oh yes, we're talking 90+ with humidity the last couple weeks.


The day after my birthday I competed in the Everest Challenge: a Disney 5k through the Animal Kingdom with obstacles followed by a scavenger hunt and an after party in the park til 1am! The race was so well organized, so much fun, and of course, magical. The best part of the experience was the people I raced with. Karyl was my teammate, and Jackie and Katelyn were teammates. Jackie is our amazing roommate we encouraged to quit smoking. She quit, worked hard to run this race, and finished! We are so proud!
This was my first 5k and we ended up taking 4th! I was pretty excited, yet so bummed since it was only by 10 seconds! I guess I'll have to do it again!

Emily, Katelyn, and I also went to Cirque du Soleil! Yes, this was my third time, but I love it!
So there you have it. A lot of fun, work, and stress. I've been sick this week-guess this is just how my body has been handling everything. I feel like I'm floating. I am exhausted, but on the mend. I've almost got my head wrapped around my life again. Tomorrow I will set sail on my first cruise ever as a little graduation present to myself! Emily and Katelyn are my ship-mates and we are very excited. So off to bed and see you in a week everybody!

Spring Formal

Sometimes you forget how awesome it was going to those ridiculous high school dances! Disney put a spring formal together for all of us interns, so I went and surprisingly had a great time. Favorite part? Honestly, probably getting ready. It's been a long time since I've put make-up on, done my hair, and wore heels. I love feeling classy! Emily accompanied me and we had a delicious dinner, met some villians (it was a villian themed dance), and danced with friends. Of course, my feet were killing me by the end of the night though.



Me, Travis, Michelle, and Eric dancing!


A couple weeks ago, I joined a book club! I know, crazy...the girl who hates reading has now made it her new hobby. For real though, I have been reading books all the time this year and am beginning to understand how great books are. So Travis might be the only other person in this club, but that's fine! haha We read Water for Elephants, so tonight we saw the movie! I enoyed both in good company. :)

Blue Man

Katelyn and I had one of the best nights ever this week. We went to Blue Man Group for the first time and loved every minute of it! Not only was the show fabulous and entertaining, but we had a couple special encounters as well. At one point in the show, the three men crawl over the audience picking people out to do crazy stuff with them. We had isle seats, so as they came up our isle, we both just smiled and apparently caught their attention. One of the blue men came up and just stared back at us. Pretty soon the lights are on us and we can’t stop giggling! He goes back on stage for a couple seconds, and then all three of them come back to us. The lights are on us, we are on screen and their faces are staring. Of course we are laughing! Then one of them grabs Katelyn’s hand and takes her on stage! They do entire scene with her trying to impress her with their gifts as they eat Twinkies on a “first date” type act. It was so funny! One of my favorite parts was the end when the whole place breaks into a dance party. Once the show ended, a couple of the blue men came out to the lobby to take pictures. So, yes, we wanted one! As we are standing in the crowd waiting for our turn, Blue Man 1 is still staring at us! He is taking pictures with other people, but his eyes are on us, not the camera. So awkward! So then he takes a few with us and leaves. So, we go to Blue Man 2 for another picture. I take a picture of Katelyn with him, and then he kisses her cheek! She took one of me, and I was also given a kiss. Needless to say, we were stoked! Not to mention, Katelyn was a celebrity that night! Everyone that walked past us had to congratulate her on her performance.
So fun!

He has mastered the skill of extreme staring!

In love!
